Yep, was wrong to trust the labelling, the spine is lot deeper on actual SMT's, and yep, the SMT was not exported, makes sense as its modern version introduced after ukraine started moving westwards So to the OP no you can't do a SMT as a ukrainian if you are aiming for realism

That one is quite understandable, I nearly did it on my first desert build as I assumed middle stone was the basecolour

The massive flaw with rgb analysis as Casey has told me a gazillions times but turn the brightness and contrast up and you will see, the hue is quite different, also looks closer on my iPhone but zooming in I can see the difference clearly again

not even close

Casey has measured xf-20, I’ll compare it to the map msg chip after match of the day finishes

Aerial was knocked off on the way to the photoing point and the replacement needs the grey touched up but otherwise it’s 100% done

Morrisons are doing a special where if you spend 45 quid or more you got a litre of baileys for 8.50 if you are more card holder, as I am one my mother thought it a great idea for me to do that, having had to carry it all back in the storm gales I’m not so sure

The obvious difference is the spine and the wing tips are different between the 9-13 and SMR

Cheers, just emerged from fight with the carpet mosnter with the fin as my prize, is also a vent piece missing but I can't verify the vent is actually there on photos of 6002 so not worried about it
